slept for 12 hours, whoops
My niece & nephew were over all week last week (7 & 13). It was good. I knew the week would take some toll on me. But I took good care of myself, I lied down to rest a couple times a day, I took alone time as-needed, and maintained the majority of my self-care habits.
And I'm pretty sure I mostly got full nights of sleep! (probably aided by how tiring it is to be constantly socializing, and having my routines disrupted)
I was gonna go to my aunt's for Easter today. Food was at 1pm. I had said I might not make it bc recovering from the kiddos, but I PLANNED on it, and yesterday I thought I was going to be well-equipped, at least for a short visit.
Well then I'm playing my games last night (demo for The Loopler, iirc), and I got overwhelmed by a wave of super mega tiredness. This was at 2am. I normally go to bed at 3:30 or 4am. I couldn't do it anymore so I lied down at 2, and fell asleep quickly. (Oops, realizing I skipped brushing my teeth too)
Then I woke up at like 1:58 in the afternoon. Almost twelve hours of sleep. Didn't know I needed that. But I think I needed that.
So I skipped easter. I wasn't gonna eat anyway since I'm fully vegan now. But I was gonna visit.
Ah, well. I feel a bit bad. But I also wanna give myself grace. It's the first family holiday i've missed in years. Oh, plus my best friend is moving to germany very soon and so I've been extending myself for hangouts and errands with her, so that is another factor in my exhaustion.
